What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonacarrow (frenchpark By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies the eastern crest of a ridge and preserves a circular grass area bounded by an earthen bank, scarp, fosse and overgrown outer bank. A four-metre entrance cuts through both banks at the east, although a field bank and road have altered parts of the surrounding ditch.

Towards the E end of the crest of a WNW-ESE ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 29.2m E-W; 27.5m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3-4.6m; int. H 0.3-0.8m; ext. H 0.9-1.6m) NW-E and SSW-W, and a scarp (H 1-1.2m) elsewhere. It is surrounded by a fosse (Wth of base 5-5.5m; D 0.3-0.8m) NE-S-NW, with an overgrown outer bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.75-1.4m; ext. H 0.45-0.8m) ENE-S-SW. There is an entrance (Wth 4m) through both banks at E. A N-S field bank is built in the fosse SW-NW and an E-W road bank has removed the fosse NW-NE.
